RHODE Thistle Shower Curtain RHODE Thistle Shower Curtain
West Elm
$36 (was $45)
We knew this quaint shower curtain from West Elm’s collaboration with RHODE would be an instant hit. AT's Senior Style Editor, Blair, credits it with transforming the entire look of her bathroom. “After a lifetime of being a plain, all-white shower curtain person, I’m officially on the fun, patterned bathroom decor bandwagon, thanks to the RHODE Thistle Shower Curtain — which is also perfect for distracting from the fact that my bathroom’s absolutely impossible to keep clean,” her review reads. The curtain stuns with its marigold motif and snazzy ruffles. Plus, it’s machine-washable!

Harmony Sofa Harmony Sofa
West Elm
$1,329.30 (was $1,599)
As the owner of the Harmony sofa, I can say with confidence that this is one of the most comfortable couches West Elm has. Not only are its back and seat cushions supremely soft and bouncy, but the seat is also deep enough for me to recline and even nap on. The customizable sofa is available in a slew of pretty upholstery fabrics; I highly recommend the performance velvet, as stains lift right out of it.

Flower Table Lamp Flower Table Lamp
West Elm
$159.20 (was $199)
Flower-shaped lamps reigned supreme this year, and when you take one look at this whimsical example, it’s no wonder why. Although the lamp is technically designed for a child’s room, there’s nothing stopping you from adorning your space with it. It’s available in two colors and boasts a sturdy iron frame. If you scroll down, you’ll see a sconce and floor lamp version, too.

Belle Nightstand Belle Nightstand
West Elm
$199
Although this small-space-friendly item is technically a nightstand, Deputy Commerce Editor Alicia uses it as a side table and describes it as stylish and less clunky than the average square side table. “I think it creates an interesting focal point in my living room and makes it look larger,” she says in her review. “It’s also the perfect height for my couch — it’s the exact same height as the armrest.” The table is made of steel and comes in two finishes.

This past year, I went to West Elm and tested all of the retailer’s rugs in-store. Of the models I covered, the Lumini is definitely one of the most versatile options. It’s relatively easy to clean and a breeze to style, thanks to its subtle pattern. Whether you live alone with your pet or in a bustling household, you can’t go wrong with this pick.

Penn Chair Penn Chair
West Elm

West Elm’s Penn Chair just screams cozy, doesn’t it? Thick cushions and high arms make it comfortable to sit in, while the soft velvet finish and bold metal legs give it just enough flair. Commerce SEO Writer Haley says the chair made her friend’s small apartment feel more inviting. “She loves it — it was exactly what her empty corner was missing," she says in her review. "It’s the ideal blend of an accent chair and something she’ll actually use, not just for show.”

Silky Tencel Modal Sheet Set Silky Tencel Modal Sheet Set
West Elm
$119.20 (was $149)
West Elm might be best known for its chic furniture, but it’s also home to some of the best bedding around. Case in point? The silky TENCEL modal sheet set. Designed to be “more absorbent than cotton, softer than silk, and cooler than linen,” these sheets will transform any bed into the ultimate sleep oasis. Commerce SEO Editor Sarah, who tested the set, called the sheets soft yet breathable and moisture-wicking. In other words, they’re great for hot sleepers.

Worn Velvet Blackout Curtains, 48 Worn Velvet Blackout Curtains, 48" x 84" (Set of 2)
West Elm
$298
Of course, we had to include the velvet curtains that made our Best List in this roundup. These can be purchased individually or in a set of two, as well as with or without a blackout lining (although we definitely recommend with). Contributor Kendall also found that the curtains helped retain heat in her New York City apartment during the winter months, plus the plush curtains didn't fade, shrink, or wrinkle after multiple washes. They're well-made in every sense.

Mella Sofa Mella Sofa
West Elm
$799
Not only did this curved sofa win a spot on our Design Awards list, but contributor Sarah also considers it to be the most ideal sofa style for her small living room. “The sofa features a chic, low-profile bat wing back that gently curves at its ends — a silhouette that feels minimalist but not too modern in style,” her review notes. “It complements my eclectic, vintage decor perfectly. The ‘clay’ colored velvet reads as tan in person, and it’s neutral enough to work well with many other shades so it can really jibe with any aesthetic.”

West Elm
$145
This sleek rattan bin will give your bedroom an instant and discrete style boost. It’s available in both a lidded and unlidded option, and Alicia says hers slid seamlessly under her bed frame with a seven-inch height. “The basket is currently holding one quilt, a sheet set, and some random small items that I couldn’t find a place for elsewhere,” she says in her review. This basket might look slim, but it is, in fact, quite roomy.

$1,119.20 (was $1,399)
Love the look of a tufted sofa? The Drake is a compact, tailored couch that’ll instantly dress up your space. It has crisp lines, a solid oak construction, and reversible cushions that made Commerce Editor Britt’s family fall in love with it. In fact, her brother owns two! “Not only does the furniture look amazing in their spacious living room, but it’s also seen its fair share of crumbs, spills, splatters, and markers,” her review reads. “I also loved how comfortable the sofas are: They have just the right balance of firmness and coziness, which makes them great for naps, lounging, and the many movie nights we’ve had as a family.”

Mixed Herringbone Blanket, Full/Queen Mixed Herringbone Blanket, Full/Queen
West Elm
$149
This breathable, year-round blanket is another favorite of Alicia’s. “I sleep under it year-round, and I can be a picky sleeper, so that is giving the blanket the highest compliment in my eyes,” she says in her review. “It is a bit of a splurge, but I can tell by the material and quality of the blanket that I’ll have it on my bed for years to come.” Snag it in white or ivory.
